A modern new builded house with a large private garden with grass and flowers! The house has 3 bedrooms capable to host up to 6 people! Also has 2 bathrooms, large balcony with lovely view in a very very quiet neighborhood, private parking and private swimming pool under construction (winter 2016)!

The price is for 2 people. Each extra person +10€ per day

It was very nice house, perfect located in mountains, but near the sea. The place is silent, but it takes you 5 minutes by car to get to city with bars and taverns. Paulos provided us a lot of usefull information - what to do, what to see and where to eat. Big big big thanks for all! Our kids dream about house like this ;) Totally recomended!

House. Everything was wonderful and even better than expected! We liked the house very much. It was beautiful, clean and equipped with everything was was needed. There was also an additional cleaning and change of towels in the middle of our one week stay. Upon our arrival we have even received very tasty "welcome" from the host :-). Thank you Paulos! Location. The location of the house in a quiet village was also very convenient for us. We could only hear the sounds of roosters and goats. We traveled by rented car to different beaches and touristic attractions to the East, West and South part of Crete. Contact. Email contact with Paulos was super fast, reliable and very pleasant. Final word. Me, my wife and my friends spent vacation in several rented houses in different European countries, but it was our best experience from many aspects. I strongly recommend the house and the host!!!

We had a lovely stay at villa Ikaros and would not hesitate to recommend to others. Whilst we did not meet Paulos in person as he was away, he was prompt to respond on phone if we had any queries or questions. He also went the extra by mile with housekeeping and unexpected local gifts during our stay. The villa itself is a tasteful modern building set in beautiful rural surroundings (the pictures do not do it justice!) and we hope to rebook if we return to the area.

What a wonderful place to stay!!!! In the little village of Kalamitsi Amygdali stands a beautiful and modern home, spacious and clean, with all the necessary luxuries and comforts (like a hotel!). From the comfortable couches, wide-screen tv, well-equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms, balconies off each bedroom, quick and modern washer, wonderful rain-shower, luxurious bath, to the amazing balcony overlooking the Cretan villages all around, with amazing sunrises! This has been an outstanding home to experience Crete in!!!! We have enjoyed the sound of the goat and sheep bells at night, and in the morning. Our children and us have especially loved watching the flock of sheep/goats walking past the house every morning!! The sounds and sight is so wonderful!! And the hospitality shown by Pavlos' family is absolutely amazing! They have welcomed us to our home, given us tastes of Crete from their own produce and their own baking above and beyond our expectations, placed fresh flowers in the vases and cleaned the house and placed new linen and towels each time. The blue file that contains information about the house, and about exploring Crete has been so valuable to us! We planned our journey through Chania, and with our car we have seen so much, going to Balos, Elafonissi,Sfakia, Samaria Gorge, Chania town, not to mention the villages... Gavalochori, Vrysses, Kefalas, Vamos to name a few! As well as Argiroupoli with the amazing waterfalls and natural springs in the restaurant, the ancient town of Lappa, the village of Kandanos, the seaside town of Paleochora eating at the wonderful Pizzeria Odysseus! And the beach town of Georgioupoli so close by to the house, and Lake Kournas! We loved our two meals we had at the local taverna in the next village - Kalamitsi Alexandrou! We have found the Cretans to be absolutely wonderful, friendly, hospital and warm-hearted people who are so generous! Thank You Pavlo and to your family for making our stay in Crete a wonderful, comfortable and unforgettable experience!!

If you get a chance to go to Crete you need to stay here. I did not get a chance to meet Paulos but he was available if we needed him for anything, he is like an old friend, easy to talk to. When we first arrived in town we were a little lost so Paulos sent his sister to collect us from the square. When we arrived at the house we were overwhelmed by the gracious treats left for us and how spectacular the house is. We enjoyed our nights on the balcony looking at the mountains and spent our days exploring the island as the house was in a great location to get around.

Very nice house, quiet and charming. In a typical village. An ideal place for relaxing. Beaches 10 minutes driving. We really recommand this house. And dimitri is a really nice person.

Jasmine cottage house is a very, very nice accommodation for a residence at Crete! It´s a lovely stone house in the little moutain village kefalas exactly you can see in the pictures. We really enjoyed our living there! We were 5 people there for was lot of space in the house.Dimitri and his family are very hospitable people. It was nice to meet them. To speak in English is no problem. Our arrival was like homecoming. Flowers and fruits on the table, typical savouries in the oven, the first things for breakfast prepared. A big garden is also available. It was no proplem to come every time we want. The house was clean an everything you need to cook and live are there. In the village are a few little stors to buy food or everything you need. Also are very tasty tavern there. The beach is with car only a few minutes away. To dicover west-Crete it´s a very good location. In the neighborhood live very friendly people, too. The house is a little seperated you will not be disturbed. We can really recommend it!

We had a very good experience renting out Dimitris cottage. Dimitris is a very gentle and relaxed person and always tried his best to help and please us before and during our stay. The house was cool, comfy and pretty and true to the description. We definitely recommend him as a host and its house to experience the Cretan way of life !

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described and even better. Great experience!

OlegSeptember 2016

Great location for relaxed chill out with family. Awesome to reach Almeryda beach within 15 minutes by car ( car recommanded here ), and Kefalas is a nice little village to skip all the touristic fuzz but still having all you need for daily requirements within walking distance. Unfortunately our timing was a little weird and we did not have a chance to meet the host, but his wife gave us a peasent welcome and the house is simply amazing. Closeby is the city of Vamos - with a really original restaurant that for me was the best I visited in Crete. Do not miss that if you don't have to. But even the local restaurant in Kefalas serms to be really good. Long story short - this is a really nice place to stay - can't get that much better in mid price range. It is a guarantee for being totally happy with your accomodation.

Villa Eleonas is a traditional house built of stone. It can comfortably accommodate up to six people (and a baby). It is quite big and fully equipped catering for an absolutely relaxing and pleasant stay. It is suitable all year round!

The reason I love this house is that you can feel the comfort almost immediately you enter the house. Once you get in, you see a big yard with beautiful flowers and sitting areas. The pool is at the back side of the house with sunbeds surrounding it as well as some outdoor furniture. This is also where the barbecue is. The barbecue is close to the door of the kitchen which is very convenient.
As for the interior, it consists of 2 main rooms (a kitchen and a living room),3 bedrooms (2 upstairs and one downstairs) and 2 bathrooms (one with a shower and the other with a bath).
The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils, pots etc. Apart from the cooker and the fridge we provide a big dishwasher, a microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster and other useful appliances. In the kitchen area there is also a small dining table and a door that communicates with the bbq and pool area.
In the living room there is a fireplace which is operational during the winter months. There is a big dining table, sofa and television.
Downstairs, there is also one bedroom (with single beds which can be used as a double bed as well) and a bathroom with bath and washing machine.
Upstairs, there are the 2 other bedrooms and one bathroom with shower.
(Note : We will install shower glass in both bathrooms this year. I will update the pictures once they are installed! )
One of the best spots of the house is the two verandas upstairs with views to mountains and the whole area. I think I would have my morning coffee there everyday if I lived in this house! The two verandas can be accessed also from the yard through a beautiful rounded stone staircase.
The villa is totally children friendly as it is surrounded by a big open space where the children can play safely as the place is completely separated from the street and cars. We also provide 3 bicycles for children as there is a lot of space for riding in the area around the villa. The streets in the village are also safe enough. There are also some goats, and your little ones can experience farm life first hand. Our previous guests’ children loved being with Andonis -the villa owner- and helping him around the farm. As for babies, there is a cot, a high chair and a baby bathtub available for free.
Our first and foremost priority is offering you a delightful experience combined with the feeling of being at home. We always do our best to that end.
Apart from the house itself, the location is central enough to anything. The nearest beach, Ombrogialos, is 5 minutes drive away while other popular sandy beaches are from 10 to 20 minutes away.
The historical cities of Chania and Rethymno are less than an hour drive. Other villages with handy shops with local products are just 2 to 5 minutes away. You can also find some traditional tavernas there offering delicious Cretan dishes in reasonable prices.
Guest have access to the entire house as well as the whole plot the villa is located in.
I am always available to be contacted through phone or e-mail. I can offer recommendations and answer any questions you might have. I know how it feels like being in a foreign place, so I can offer assistance anytime.

Paleloni is a small mountainous village within the municipality of Vamos. It is very close (no more than 2 minutes drive) to other bigger villages where you can find mini-markets and restaurants. It is less than 5 minutes drive to the most central village of the area which offers many facilities like bank, post office, health center, doctor, dentist and chemist’s.
The cities of Chania and Rethymno are about 30 kilometers away.
The nearest beach is Ombrogialos, a rocky beach with crystal-clear blue and green waters. There are other beaches close by which are sandy and more popular. All these places have restaurants, cafes and other shops apart from the beach. The closest one is less than a 10 minute drive from the villa.
Paleloni is a rather traditional village where nature prevails. It boasts panoramic views of 'Lefka Ori' (White Mountains), a big mountain range whose peaks have an off white tone due to the snow that covers them until early in summer.
A car is a must for everyone who would like to stay in our villa. Unfortunately the public transportation is not so developed so you will need a car to get everywhere.
There is plenty of parking space in the plot. It is totally safe and of course free.
There is free wi-fi and there is no extra costs for the air-conditioning. Towels and linen are provided as well as towels suitable for the pool.

After a busy 3 days in Athens, Marianna's place was the perfect escape. It's beautiful and plenty big enough for me and my husband and 4 young kids. When we arrived there was bread, garden tomatoes, grapes, fresh eggs, bottled water, milk, and a few other things especially for us--I've never been welcomed so well to an airbnb. It's in a quiet, peaceful town--we enjoyed many walks to the nearby market and cafe (1 mile away). The fenced land around the villa was great for my kids to run around and ride bikes that were provided. They loved the pool and the view of the mountains. We enjoyed several days at nearby beaches.

We found the brand new house exactly as described. The house has a perfect view and the equipment is quite tasteful. We were welcomed warmly and got everything we needed. 100% recommended!

ValérieJuly 2016

We had a fabulous stay! The apartment was brand new with everything of an amazing standard. We had arranged car hire through our hosts and a driver met us at the airport and directed us to our new home. Our hostess Chrisoula was waiting for us with lots of local treats and fresh fruit and water. She shoots around and made us feel very welcome. When we woke up, wow we had an amazing view. Our stay was fantastic and we look forward to returning. Thank you Chrisoula!!

JaneAugust 2016

Chrisoula was a great host, she was waiting for us in the nearest village to ensure we did not get lost and they had local wine & cheese as a lovey welcome. We were traveling with our son and they prepared the house with this in mind which was very appreciated. The house has lots of light, well decorated , reliable wifi and all the necessary amenities. The views are magnificent and the private swimming pool very nice. We would recommend with no hesitation.

We stayed for a wonderful week at Stefanos apartment! It was great. The place is beautiful and Stefanos made us feel more than welcome. He even did some groceries for us and gave us a lot of pointers about what to do, where to eat... In the middle of the week the house was also cleaned and we got clean towels and bedlinnen! The atmosphere in the house makes you eel right at home and Stefanos is an amazing host! Thanks again for a wonderful week!

EstherMay 2016

The place was beautiful and had a magnific view over the sea. The garden has nice butterflies, flowers and a great swimmingpool. Stefanos was very kind and friendly and had good suggestions about things in the area that we could do. The house was beautiful decorated and we had a great vacation. We recomment this house to everyone who wants to visit Crete. By the way Stefanos baked a tastefull carrotcake for us. Thank you for everything.

The location of this house was perfect for us. It is a long distance from the nearby village, shop, bus stop or any other facilities so you do need to have a car but that was exactly what we were looking for. There are four houses at this estate so there might be other people there to share a swimming pool for example but we had no problems at all. The view to the White Mountains is just breathtaking. Highly recommended place.

Wonderful traditional stone house in a mesmerisingly beautiful setting - surrounded with high mountains, olive groves, places to have a run in the morning chill and ever changing gentle sounds of nature. Among other things we enjoyed perfectly clean air and black nights, which helped us sleep well. A bottle of wine and a basket of fresh fruits were a very nice "hello" surprise :)

The house was great. It is situated in a small nice greek village, and we really appreciated that we could walk to the local taverna within a few minutes. The house was really clean and the view is great. One day it was a monsoon like rain, but we could stay inside, since the space and atmosphere was great. It is only a 5-10 minutes drive to the closest coast town Almyrida, with a lovely sand beach and several restaurants. The communication with Christos prior to our trip was perfect, and at place we meet with the lovely house keeper Mrs Froso who was keen to make sure that we had a nice time. I really would like to recommend this house!

The proof of the pudding is in the eating isn't it? We are currently planning our summer holiday in this villa... There's little to add to the other reviews. Beautiful architecture, spacious, huge, extremely well equipped, amazing views. Wonderful village within walking distance. Gorges, towns, sites and beaches within driving distance. Cooperative host, extremely friendly, helpful and able house manager. We were on cloud nine. And we'll be back!

We stayed 9 days in this lovely villa and really enjoyed our vacation there. The villa is very spacious, well equipped, clean and has an amazing view. The outside space has a spacious, clean pool and several terraces and balconies. The house looks exactly as described and seen on the photos, in fact it is even bigger than it seems on the pictures. The location has a lot of atmosphere. It is situated in a small town with some small shops, supermarkets and a couple of bars/restaurants. By car you can go to a lot of nice cities, towns and beaches in the surrounding. The host was very cooperative and always reachable and we had an extremely friendly lady who lived next door, who managed the 'key exchanging' and came to clean the house every two days. I definitely recommend this villa, it made our stay just perfect.

The house was perfect and spacious and we had everything we needed and even more. The location is perfect if you want to stay far from the crowds and the noise but you need a car to go to the beach and explore the surrounded villages. Across the street there is a mini market that had everything we needed.I totally recommend this house.

I had an amazing staying at Villa Elianthos, together with my boyfriend. Yiannis and his father were very kind and careful, we felt at home every time! The apartment is very big and clean, it is also situated in a beautiful and quiet village, which is near Chania's airport: the place is definitely perfect for any stay because it is central and near many destinations. The neighbourhood was frieldly and calm. If you're looking for the perfect holiday, you should stay at Yiannis' Villa. I'll come again, this is the best Airbnb i've ever tried!

We booked the room at the very last minute, (about an hour before we arrived) There was nobody there on arrival but we made a call and were sorted out within minutes. We were made to feel like family. We had room number one which is on two levels and has 2 shower rooms. Very clean, lovely white linen and towels. Kitchen had everything we needed. We had an upstairs and downstairs terrace overlooking the pool and great views of the countryside. The village is 5 mins walk down a hill. Several tavernas and bars serving great food and the locals are also very friendly and welcoming. 6km from Kalyves if you would like to go to the beach. The beach is lovely and clean too. Our host Nikos is a wonderful man. Very funny and kind. We would strongly recommend a visit if you like rural locations and want to join in with the local people. We will definitely return.

The apartment is big, clean, silent and in a very comfortable place. My guest were kind and cooperative. I'm very satisfied and I recommend this place.

The place and people are lovely, Yiannis's sister who manages the place met us at when we arrived and welcomed us with some fresh lemonade and local pies. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The gardens are amazing and the pool is a great distraction. There can be better Road signs to find the place but once you do you wish you'd stayed here longer. The Vamos village is a destination in its own right and check with the local tourist centre for loads of local activities. Great friendly people in the village too. Make sure to take care of mosquitoes at night and check the TV and air-conditioning when checking in.

Relaxing in Betsy was part one of our two centered holiday and it proved to be a wonderful choice. Firstly the lead-up period was carefully designed to ensure all our questions were answered and clear directions given to ensure we had a comfortable and stress free journey from the airport. We were also given a very generous Welcome Pack with a choice of different food staples and luxuries which was in the apartment on our arrival where we were met and welcomed by our hosts Marz and Viv. Betsy is a charming, spotlessly clean and comfortable ground floor apartment with the use of a fabulous swimming pool, sunbeds and shade, set amongst olive trees and greenery. The kitchen is well catered for with good quality saucepans, fridge, freezer and equipment. We like to cook and also had the use of a barbecue. We ate outside most evenings under a beautiful grape laden vine and a huge starry sky. Perfect. Our hosts were utterly charming, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed good conversation and appreciated their attention to detail and consideration. Viv thoughtfully gave us six organic eggs one morning! We felt totally at home and spent most of the day by the pool enjoying the peace, heat, warm breeze and gorgeous environment. Betsy is overlooked by a stunning mountain range. I would unreservedly recommend Relaxing in Betsy. The location is peaceful, full of interest, history, pretty sleepy villages, good tavernas, lovely quirky beaches and big open skies.

The hosts made us feel very welcome, they were very very nice and helpful any time during the day. We felt like home. There is a big and cozy swimming pool outside the apartment , the area is very quiet and green all around. In the center of the village, 10 minutes walk from the apartment, we enjoyed from several grate Taverns for eating and drinking. 15 minutes by car we went to a lovely beach that made us come back for more and more, but there are more 30 km of beaches there. we had a fantastic holiday.

Betsy is just like the pictures : extremely peaceful and relaxing. Vamos is a perfect place to relax but also to visit Crete : it's between Hania and Rethymno! We would'nt go anywhere else on our next trip in Crete. Marz is a wonderful hostess : she's really caring, but never invasive. Don't hesitate to ask her tips about the area, she'll be glad to. Also, she always provide a nice welcome pack, you feel like a home right away...!

A perfect base for exploring the surrounding traditional villages Vamos, Kefalas, Gavaloxori and the seaside villages Georgioupolis, Almyrida and Kalives.
This place offers privacy, peace, Mountain View, Ecotourism, agro tourism, ecology, the ‘great outdoors’ with respect to nature. The water, the fresh air, the solitude of the mountains, the good food, along with the local drink of choice – raki, are enough to draw you to this lovely destination. But the landscape alone is more than enough to provide you with serenity. It is just what you need to recharge your batteries. Close are several beaches, villages and other beautiful areas. Must enjoy Greek cuisine and local wines.
Xirosterni is an old village with particularly interesting and well-preserved folk architecture, located in the region of Apokoronas in the Chania prefecture. In the village and the area close there are traditional bakery, mini market, cafes and taverns. Apokoronas is one of the most historic and beautiful areas of Crete, a landscape of wild mountains and fertile valleys. Built by the Byzantine Empire, the architectural tradition has been influenced by Venetians.

Aloni / threshing floor for separating out grain by the feet of people or oxen and still later with the use of a flail. A threshing floor is of two main types: 1) a specially flattened outdoor surface, usually circular and paved, or 2) inside a building with a smooth floor of earth, stone or wood where a farmer would thresh the grain harvest and then winnow it. Animal and steam powered threshing machines from the nineteenth century onward made threshing floors obsolete. The outdoor threshing floor was either owned by the entire village or by a single family, and it was usually located outside the village in a place exposed to the wind.
There are dozens of references to a “threshing floor” in the Bible, some literal and some symbolic. In biblical days there was no machinery, so after the harvest, the grain was separated from the straw and husks by beating it manually. First there had to be a flat surface that was smooth and hard, and this was known as the threshing floor. The process of threshing was performed generally by spreading the sheaves on the threshing floor and causing oxen and cattle to tread repeatedly over them, loosening the edible part of cereal grain (or other crop) from the scaly, inedible chaff that surrounds it. On occasion, flails or sticks were used for this purpose. Then winnowing forks were used to throw the mixture into the air so the wind could blow away the chaff, leaving only the good grain on the floor.
